Yard rescue for Samuel, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Lagos: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria427 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 37 years. After the storm in March, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Good luck, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending strength, Samuel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. God bless!
